I was originally pretty disappointed Bg3 won't release while I'm on break.
With the nonsensical combat, and a system that treats worldbuilding along priorly implemented laws of physics as "suggestions"... it can wait. The comedic mechanics and serious undertones don't complement each other. If you want to be silly, commit to the bit. If I'm supposed to take this as a serious setting, I expect thought put into it.
This isn't innovation or a brave, iconoclastic move. It's dumbing down and unbalancing the already precarious. I'm not sure why Larian couldn't leave it at story mode and free resets. It could have been a great game. I don't trust Larian knows what they're doing anymore when it comes to combat. It was so, so easy to not mess it up.
